You can live the memorable experience that only locals can provide.
Most of the tours on mycreativetours.com come from travellers like you!
You can book even one day in advance by instantly notifying the guide via email and SMS message to their mobile phone at any time anywhere.
You see your guide and tour before you get there! You can choose depending on what you most enjoy.
You don’t pay for expensive tour operators, you just pay for the person that will provide the experience you are looking for with the creativity & emotions that are the real reasons why we all move!
Because using mycreativetours.com you can choose from a range of services and guides and tours. You can’t on the spot!
If you book a guide on the spot you might not enjoy the first guide you find (probably not really what you are looking for).
Also, this way you have what you want, when you want and you don’t need to waste your precious holiday time searching for tour guides.
You can avoid buying into scams or tours from companies/guides that may be untrustworthy.
Basically you have a reference wherever you go.
You can plan tours or book someone to help you out in problematic situations or for useful services.
Only locals know the secrets of the area/city you’re visiting.
Also, as mycreativetours.com is not a tour operator but a platform that encourages creativity, you might find tours and services you had never even thought about before…
You can decide depending on the ratings or by reading the guide / tour description or even by looking at the photos / videos to see which tour and/or guide would be ideal for your needs.
Everyone can apply to be a guide with mycreativetours.com but only people that have good ratings will actually be successful.
In mycreativetours.com there are three guide profiles of guide: personal guides, professional guides and small tour operators.
The personal guides are people that might not have official training in history or art but who will base their potential on creativity and enthusiasm. At the end of the day do you need a history literate to see the coolest night scene in London or the most beautiful and hidden beaches in Thailand? Or to discover the secrets of the bull run in Pamplona? No! You need somebody that knows all about the specific tour/service he/she is providing.
The tour guides are official guides.
The third type is made up of a small and creative tour operator who aims to propose something different from the typical tourist attractions. Still classic tours are welcome.
All guides are expected to be honest and behave according to the terms of service.
Guides are not mycreativetours.com employees.
We do our best to ensure a fair level of quality and safety in the content guides and users write on the mycreativetours.com website. By looking at photos and videos of the guides and of the tours you gain a reasonable idea of who you’re going to meet. We consider this method safer then just hiring a guide on the spot since you can see and email him/her before actually going on the tour.
The fact that other people like you rated the guide makes the whole experience even more trustworthy. We promote honesty, enthusiasm and creativity, but will not be held responsible for the behaviour of tour guides. See terms of service.
As always, it is wise to use common sense.

More about ratings… Guides need your opinion and you can choose who’s good and who isn’t!
Ratings are extremely important. You can state your opinion (once you've taken a tour) about a guide and his/her tour, which will ensure that both good guides and good tours will receive the recognition they deserve. Additionally, this may inspire tour guides to provide a better level of service. You can also leave a comments on the guide and tours. (Inappropriate language won’t be allowed; see website conduct or terms of service for the language).
for guides
Everyone can apply to be a guide with mycreatours.com but only customer orientated people and communication skills will actually be successful.
Who is rating your skills? Your clients! No training or qualifications are needed to subscribe to this website but depending on the kind of tour/service you’re offering, you might need to follow certain requirements, rules, laws that can change from country to country. We strongly suggest you check with your local/national governing tourism board about these details. Make sure though you add in your description any information or experience you have and that may be relevant to the tours you’re proposing. Remember, the more truthful you are the more people will appreciate it.
Everyone can apply!
In mycreativetours.com there are three guide profiles: personal guides, professional guides [show the symbol] and small tour operators [show the symbol].
The personal guides are people that might not have official training in art history for example, but will be enthusiastic about travel, have a passion they would like to share with others as well as a sense of honesty and respect. At the end of the day do you need a history literate to see the coolest night scene in London or the finest winery in Champagne? Amm… don’t think so… The only thing necessary is a surplus amount of information about the specific tour/service you are providing. Ideally you should be able to interact with people easily and have travelled extensively.
The tour guides are official guides that conform to local laws and rules in terms of studies, responsibility, and professionalism
The third profile is made up of a small, cool and creative tour operator that aims to propose something different from typical tourist attractions. Classic tour companies are also welcome.
All guides are expected to be honest and behave in accordance with the terms of service.
It all depends on you! We have guides that use even only their native language and they’re doing great!!! Obviously though, if you know more than one language you broaden your possibilities. You might not need to be extremely proficient in a foreign language. In fact, depending on the tour your enthusiasm and creativity might be more important than your foreign language skills. There are other cases though, where communication skills are crucial. It all depends on the tour/service you’re offering. And don’t worry you’ll see what your clients think…
